Benefits of technology

[0015]For another optional embodiment, the device further provides one or more covers for the cleaning and / or drying sections, which covers those sections when the device is not in use. The cover may provide protection for the sanitizing wipe or drying material, to assist in avoiding contamination, and preferably prevent or delay the unused wipes from drying out. In a preferred embodiment, the covers may be connected to the ratchet device, so that the cover opens up to reveal the fresh surface area for cleaning simultaneously with advancing the cleaning or drying material.

Problems solved by technology

The sanitizing wipe may be replaced after every user, so each user is confronted with a fresh, uncontaminated wipe.

In addition, these various germs may then be spread to other people that one has contact with, or simply people who contact various surfaces that other people have previously infected with germs.[0003]While most bacteria are harmless, many disease-causing bacteria produce toxins that damage cells and cause illness. Viruses invade cells in the body, affecting the workings of the cell. Neither these, nor other microorganisms, are gene...
